    Orchard Hills - Strada by Irvine Pacific

    We were at the Strada office snooping and apparently the owner had some UCI students that wanted to rent it but eventually turned them down. My wife and I just dread neighbor who are renters from past experience.  Our last home in Irvine had renters immediately next door to us and also three...

    Orchard Hills - Strada by Irvine Pacific

    We got quote of about $9.13/sq ft for vinyl (wood look) flooring through IP. For model home's engineered wood is about $18.50/sq ft. When we were shopping around state college blvd, here's the price range - $1.00 ~ $2.00/sq ft for tile floor on concrete demolition (carpet should have no cost...

    Orchard Hills - Strada by Irvine Pacific

    Thank you. That was the "pre-orientation", not the final one.  We will be doing slight constructions after closing before moving in, so I'm hoping 2 weeks post closing for an actual move in.  "Hoping" is the key word here.  I don't recall any paint odor so it must not have been significant.  My...

    I think I'll put some chairs on the patio and charge friends to watch the Disneyland fireworks instead.

    Went to our walk-thru today and realized we do have view! Its a little pathetic to call it view, but its view nonetheless.  ;D

    I guess we didn't look rich enough to receive that offer during our design process. :-\

    Orchard Hills - Strada by Irvine Pacific

    I find it odd an upgrade to the driveway was not offered by the builder.  That's an option I would've considered. To date I have not seen anyone in the community that has upgraded their driveway.  Does anyone have an idea as to the cost associated with upgrading the driveway to the likes of...

    Concerns re: Aerial spraying of pesticide and exposure at Strada Orchard Hills

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that map shows which area HAD the most heavily use of pesticide back when the land use to be for agricultures.  Which means there may be remanents in the soil/groundwater. While most of our concern about Orchard Hills is the future usage of aerial or ground...

    Orchard Hills - Strada by Irvine Pacific

    I think plan 1, for the money, it doesn't seem worth it.  The floor plan does not have anything that stands out or particularly attract a buyer.  And by placing the stairway next to an already small living room, it pretty much renders the only living space down to nothing but a walkway from...

    Orchard Hills - Strada by Irvine Pacific

    Next weekend will be another phase release so there should be pricing info at the office this wednesday or Thursday. The wife took this at the office today - looks like whole bunch of plan 1s left unsold.  A couple unsold ones are blocked by light reflection, can't tell what plans they are.

    Orchard Hills - Strada by Irvine Pacific

    The pool in Strada is gated with key fob entry.  I'm assuming this key fob access would be limited to Strada residents and not the remaining village 2 residents.  So that is around 200 to 1 for Strada pool?

    Terrazza is on phase 5 or 6 I believe.  They've sold a lot less then Strada.  But their plan 2X does have a great lay out.

    Orchard Hills - Strada by Irvine Pacific

    Congrats! Are you one of the phase 3 closing?  Seems like a couple of houses moved in over the weekend.  May I ask if you went with OnQ in the end? My wife and I were talking about that.  I think for Irvine in general, people use their garages for storing stuff more than they do cars.

    road rage/aggresive driver incident, Pavillon park

    Having been in several Irvine HOA board meetings (the ones that's not open to all residents, but just board members) that were discussing gates, I think it's damn near impossible to put up a gate in a community when it is not suppose to have one. City of Irvine has control first of all.  They...
